Table 4 shows the loading of each variable on the single factor extracted from the data. All the loadings are very high ( above .80 ) which supports the unidimensionality of the data. The factor that the speeded cloze-elide passages highly load on a single factor on which all other measures load supports the validity of the speeded cloze-elide as a measure of overall language ability and reading comprehension.
